||
|
c) using only a. |

e) using both the inputs, a and b. |
Homework Answers
MPa/Pa < MPb/Pb USING ONLY B
since the goods are substitutable, the cheaper good would be preferred.
since according to the given condition the marginal Productivity per unit of price of A is less than that of B, thus the firm will ONLY USE B.

1. Suppose Oreos and Hydrox are perfect substitutes, one for one (Hydrox were chocolate cookies with vanilla filling that stood up better in milk than Oreos.). If Oreos currently sell for 50 cents and Hydrox sell for 75 cents, use both graphs and words to explain income and substitution effects that occur when the price of Oreos to rise to $1.

Q1.1-1.3 thanks
1 Bundling Suppose that a firm sells two different goods, A and B, to two different potential customers (i.e., consumer 1 and consumer 2). The firm has a marginal cost of zero dollars per unit of each good. Each customer buys at most one unit of either good, depending on whether the price exceeds or is less than the consumer's valuation. The table below shows the maximum willingness to pay for each consumer and good: Maximum Willingness to...
